Default Re: Jay Freeman successfully ports Debian for Android

This is really not all that exciting. The G1 and all releases in the foreseeable future are not computers and will never be. Even if a future release is actually more powerful than computers, the limitation is on the screen size. The G1 is more powerful than most of the computers from 10 years ago, but it cannot possibly run any of the software from back then with reasonable competence. Imagine using the desktop version of Word on the G1. Good luck clicking on any of the buttons up top. What we need is a way to exploit the G1's potential as a mobile companion to the max, not a way to turn the G1 into computer replacements.

p.s. I'd like to hold Jay Freeman to his comment about developing on the G1.
